Universal Sharps
The Universal needle has a sharp point for most general sewing applications from dress making to machine embroidery and machine quilting. The Universal needles can be used on the majority of fabrics including jerseys and synthetics.
|
Topstitch & Metallica
The Topstitch and Metallica needle are exactly the same needle with different names. The best attributes are taken from all the other needles and are combined together to create these superb machine needles.
|
Embroidery (Red Tip)
The Embroidery needle or ‘E’ Needle has an elongated eye. The eye is 1.5 times the length of the eye of the standard Universal Needle but not as big as the double length eye of the Topstitch needle.

Jeans (Blue Tip)
The Schmetz Jeans needles are strong needles used extensively by quilters and are great for denim and heavier densely woven materials, artificial leather, waxed cloth and vinyl.
|
Quilting
The specially designed Quilting needles are made stronger than regular needles to cope with the layers of fabric and wadding. Quilting needles are especially sharp with a special taper on the shank of the needle for optimum fabric penetration.
|
Ballpoint
Ballpoint needles are used generally in fine and medium needle sizes to prevent needle damage and laddering in light and medium weight man-made and knitted fabrics.

|
Twin & Triple
Twin & Triple Embroidery Needles are great fun. Use for tuck-piping and ornamental seams.
|
Microtex
The Microtex needle has a very slim acute point for easier piecing of very fine or densely woven fabrics. Use for the precise stitching of edges, also for silk, microfibre fabrics, coated materials, foils and artificial leather.
